Everyone in the group meschools for secular reasons. (Not to say that everyone is atheist, in fact there are so many different religious traditions in this group that my kids have the good fortune of being around Muslim, Christian, Jewish, Pagan, and many other traditions.) My point is that the group is large enough that we don't have to deal with any of that evangelical thing. But our town also has the evangelical Christian groups, several of them in fact.<br />We simply choose our friends for their ability to love and accept people regardless of religion. I do have a few friends back home who are very Christian and who do question me... But I think we have found a way to be friends anyway...<br /><br />OH, and down here in Australia, religion is private. NO ONE we have come into contact with has that Conservative Christian vibe.Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03309932952235453461noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4357415193462649988.post-2778538044734978002013-01-26T02:58:54.967-06:002013-01-26T02:58:54.967-06:00Interesting perspective.

I've been there on the pure exhaustion with kids, but then, I know if we don't bring school home, its less stressful.<br /><br />Question: How do you homeschool as an atheist and stay out of the evangelical drama? Just curious because every homeschool group I know is soooo Christian.Lanahttp://www.wideopenground.comnoreply@blogger.com
